Jakub Gruszka
Co-founder
Co-founder of TheLayer.co. Jakub started the publication to fill a specific gap in design coverage: there was no editorial review lab for the files designers actually use — with a published methodology, named human reviewers, and disclosure of every commercial relationship. He sets the publication's strategic direction. Editorial decisions — what gets reviewed, how it scores, what runs and what doesn't — belong to the Editor-in-Chief. Disclosed related party: Jakub also runs Creatsy, a design template marketplace. TheLayer.co reviews Creatsy products too — scored by an independent reviewer, never by Jakub or Magdalena, and the related-party relationship is disclosed inline at the top of the article.
Public profiles
Jakub Gruszka co-founded TheLayer.co as a design review lab with independent scoring, covering design files, design tools and the workflow around them. He holds the publisher role: strategic direction, infrastructure, and the public commitment that editorial integrity is not negotiable — even when slower growth, smaller traffic or lost sponsorship is the cost of telling the truth.
